If you are worried: go to an urgent care center, especially if you are feeling lightheaded. Caffeine can do all the things you are experiencing, and you need to avoid using that much caffeine in the future. Despite the fact that there is caffeine in coffee, the amount in some of these energy drinks is much higher, and can have some nasty effects.
